Sneaky-Peak

Since the site's currently in maintenance mode I thought I'd give y'all a taster of what's just round the corner for YOU ALL...
Have you guessed what it is yet? I'm waiting on an Admin to sign off on it but the GIC are cool with it. Soon as I'm on at the same time as an admin I'll post!
...you will love this, especially if you have friends in the game!

Industry View Preferences
Monday, May 12, 2008
If you are having trouble with your industry view preferences and you use Firefox browser, here's how to sort it, as originally posted
here.
1. close firefox
make sure it's closed coz if it's not it'll try to over-write your changes when you do close it. (unless you use a decent text editor that warns you of such things)
2. go to start/run and type in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
you should get a window open up with a folder named something like kljerfae.default
3. open that folder
4. look for the cookies.txt file and open it in your favourite text editor
5. You'll need to get this step from
the forum post as I can't get a tab character to stick in blogger, even using <pre> tags. Without them it works not, I tested!
6. SAVE THE FILE but don't close your editor just yet
7. open firefox and navigate to your preferences page in BS
check it says heavy
close firefox again
open firefox and navigate to your preferences page in BS
check it still says heavy
if it does then you can probably close your text editor and enjoy the game again.

Happy Hour
Friday, May 9, 2008
As members of The Bar Corporation know we like to have a Friday "Happy Hour" where we share the love in the form of ideas priced at B$1 each.
In the past we've had some problems with people unsuspectingly buying up all the ideas on offer at once without realising. So I've made an addition to stud in IRC for people to make it as easy as I can for now.
To use it first get the industry number you want to bond, then go into an IRC channel where stud is (
#stud #thebar #billythekids-hideout) and type
!happy [number]
eg. !happy 1234
Stud will reply to you in your Private Message window with a link to click and something to paste to the corp.
The line given to the corp is a one-click-straight-to-buy link where they purchase 1 idea at B$1, no confirmation windows to mess it up!
Have a great Friday!

btk's Blogger Search tool.
Wednesday, May 7, 2008
I've thrown a search tool for blogger onto
this page. It's been on other sites before I know but this just makes it easier to find I think.

Wher have I been
Sunday, May 4, 2008
I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since I updated this! It's not like there's been nothing going on in the game!
Well, I've been watching the
Froggie BSEC case with interest and
vocalising it in the forum. I just want to say here that I wasn't sticking up for him per sé but I was just wanting to see the evidence in full, which Ken went above and beyond IMO to provide, !props ken!!
Also in the news is my artefact collecting. I'm down to 38(at time of writing). I keep my needed arte list updated for all to see at
http://the-kid.org/blogshares/needartes.html and I'm really happy with how it's going. Check out
my built artefact transactions from april-ish to see the progress. I'm getting there like Carlos did (well almost)
Carlos has had us all busy in
the bar corp writing stuff for
the bar blog and keeping the fun times coming with friday night happy hours(more like a Friday night lock-in) and various member competitions. The corp is a real breath of fresh air to the game especially since operation preparation H and all that that entailed. I don't know why UTs aren't allowed in the bar though. It's a cross-corp corporation and as such I feel that they shouldn't be exempted. It's supposed to be a fun place to hang out for everyone surely. All my scripts are available for UT usage as much as anyone else in the game as they aren't corporation focused, they are game focused.
Anyhow, that's me done with UT fairness, the rest of the time they are prime for a kicking! lol
happy gamin'

Stud's twitter
Sunday, March 9, 2008
Stud has his very own twitter page at
http://twitter.com/studbot which can be updated by those with enough privileges in IRC (opped/halfopped in a channel stud's in)!
Also watch this space for a possible exciting script release for any mIRC users out there. It's in the hands of the GIC at the moment but signs so far are good. Y'all will love it I'm sure!
